WE ARE A VARIED COMMUNITY of people who get things done, of people with passion, of people who love the aesthetic beauty of thought, design, and life. The members of The Collective are defined not by their interests, professions, status, or education, which are merely labels, but by the value sets that they hold. No matter how they choose to go about their days, the members of The Collective infuse their lives with a sense of purpose, passion, and commitment. The experience of membership by invitation helps to support the creation of a community that is greater than the sum of its parts and relies on committed and participatory citizens as its foundation. This type of community strives to be more than the sum of its parts. THE PHYSICAL SPACE THAT HOUSES THE COLLECTIVE is one that is pleasant to occupy, one that is functional and adaptable, and one that is operated by trained professionals. The space serves as both a basecamp and a launchpad, with the goals of fostering interaction among members of The Collective and their endeavors and meeting the members' ever-changing needs. Imagine an old-fashioned public house instead of a penthouse in a skyscraper, or a warehouse that has been given a new purpose. The environment fosters a tangible energy that ignites inventiveness and propels constructive experiences for members of the community. The facility is adaptable and provides sufficient space for a wide variety of activities to take place. The space that the members want to inhabit is continuously designed through collaborative efforts.
